Abstract:
FTIR, FT-Raman and UV-Vis spectra of 3-methyladenine have been recorded and investigated using quantum chemical calculations. The molecular geometry and vibrational spectra of 3-methyladenine in the ground state are computed by using HF and DFT methods with 6-311G(d,p) basis set. VSCF, CC-VSCF methods based on 2MR-QFF and PT2 (Barone method) have been utilized for computing anharmonic vibrational frequencies. These methods yield results that are in remarkable agreement with the experimental data. The magnitudes of coupling between pair of modes have been also computed. Vibrational modes are assigned with the help of visual inspection of atomic displacements. The electronic spectra, simulated at TD-B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory, are compared to the experiment. The global quantities: electronic chemical potential, electrophilicity index, chemical hardness and softness based on HOMO and LUMO energy eigenvalues are also computed at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory.
